In this special Fourth of July edition of The Co-AuthoredLife, J.E. Sutton Jr. and Jeannie dive into their latest "Pages and Process" update, announcing that the first draft of Eclosion Point is officially complete and moving into the editing phase! The duo shares details about their upcoming appearance at the Literary Indulgence Book zFestival, a cool new tech addition to their book tablescape, and the highlyanticipated upcoming audiobook release of The Failsafe Program on Audible. Over in the "Analog Book Club," they talk cozy mysteries, thriller pacing, and the massive hype surrounding Dungeon Crawler Carl. Finally, things heat up in "Plot and Popcorn" with intense FIFA World Cup rants and a deep dive into the masterclass orchestration of The Bear season finale, before wrapping up with a mouthwatering look at what’s for dinner—featuring a signature Japanese curry recipe and some slow-roasted holiday ribs.
